    cap juice+high voltage=fire

    this is a monitor from a swi prototrak .
    2 caps spilled their guts and the juice ran down under the flyback.
    these units are well sealed when the mounting arm bolts are in.still stunk up the customers van and i could smell it when i came in.it was still closed up and it stunk up the store and warehouse!

    How old is it, and what are the brands of electrolytic capacitors?
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      Al El cap electrolyte is very conductive.

        the worst leaker was a teapo.
        the rest are eci?
        these were made in 86 and run 24/7 in a sealed up hot box so its not if but when they will die.
        i get a ton of these units in for total rebuild.machine shops run them till the smoke comes out.
